All of us have made privacy mistakes at some point in our privacy journeys. In an effort to help those earlier on in that journey, please share some of the mistakes you’ve made, and how you could have prevented it.
Used Facebook for years.
I knew Instagram was privacy invasive long before I ever started using it. Still decided to use it for some reason. Anyways, glad to have my dopamine receptors back.
I use Discord, though only in a web browser and only for semi-public chats. I might be using Discord less if I had gotten some friend groups onto something like Matrix.
True story:
When I was a kid I wrote a review for Dexter’s Laboratory on the internet. I wrote “I think the show fuckin sucks!”. I don’t know why. Again, I was like 10. AOL ratted me out to my parents somehow and I got banned from the dial-up for a week.
I still have digiaids from Limewire back in the day. I also regularly type “magic” between a certain you and a tube and I have no idea who operates that site.
